Can't Enter Trap Door in Zork - Person in Black Shirt Walking on Sand

At the beginning of the game of Zork there is a Trap Door. I try to Enter by Saying "Enter Trap Door" However when I do that it says "There is a Wall There".

I am playing Release 13

I know this thread is old, but make sure that you MOVE the rug. If you just look under the rug and don't move it, you won't be able to open the trap door.
